The air backstage smelled of dry ice residue, coffee, and expensive perfume. Foxy Di sat on the edge of a worn leather couch in her dressing room, staring at her reflection in the oval mirror surrounded by vanity bulbs. Behind her, the muffled sounds of the crew breaking down equipment echoed like distant thunder.
